another pokemon thread lmao! If you were a gym leader, what type would you specialize in and what team would you use? bonus points if you have a theme in mind for you/your team/your gym
personally, as much as I adore bug and dark and flying, I think I'd be a poison specialist. I'd be a spy-type character but specifically in the flamboyant, elegant but underhanded bond villain-type sense. the entrance to my gym would be an opulent and crowded cocktail party/masquerade ball where you have to identify and follow the right "mark" through the crowd to find the hidden entrance to the rest of the gym, and then some sneaking around in the dark and avoiding booby traps before reaching the big fight. here's the team I'd use, with Dragalge as an ace/signature/final pokemon:

(or if gym leaders are allowed to have ultra beasts I'd replace Venomoth or Ariados with Nihilego bc I [i]love[/i] Nihilego, but I feel like UBs and legendary/mythical pokemon are too op for gym leaders? idk)
(the team building site I used for the image above is [url=https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/national_dex.html]here[/url] if you wanna use it but it only goes up to gen 7; there's a gen 8 one [url=https://plan.pokemonteams.io/]here[/url] but it's only the Galar dex)

Lots of weakness and stuff, but I love all my birb and flying bois.

I'd create an Art Deco gym, all glammed up like something out of a film noir, and specialize in Dark types! Purrloin would be my "starter" (and companion when I'm not battling), with krookodile as the final boss. [emoji=yellow gem size=1]
(If legendaries were allowed, I'd pick darkrai for the final boss in a heartbeat.)

Definitely either Flying or Dragon!

oh definitely ghost
chandelure is one of my all time favorite pokemon so that would be my best pokemon
the rest of my team would probably be cofagrigus, trevenant, gourgeist, doublade, and either mismagmius or sableye (would post a picture but i'm on my phone rn)
Steel! Lucario would be my 'pokemon partner' or main pokemon. Also plus porygon because it's normal but really weird and fits my theme of weird technology pokemon

I'm always torn between Rock and Steel, but honestly I think it's gotta be Steel for me. I'm a romantic (in the aesthetic sense) so my theme would definitely be sort of riffing off a fantasy knight aesthetic (but more modernized than Wikstrom's whole deal). What that means for gym puzzles, who knows?
If going with a full Steel team (no pics because it's cross gen):
Corviknight (main) | Aggron | Aegislash | Empoleon | Alolan Sandslash | Lucario
But I'm also the type of person who'd swap out a couple of my team for non-Steel types for the Theme. In which case it'd be:
Corviknight (main) | Aggron | Aegislash | Empoleon | Tyrantrum | Tyranitar

A Dark-type special effect specialist, direct from Pokestar Studios! My theme would be based on tokusatsu series, with each of my pokemon nicknamed after a kaiju or protagonist. The gym puzzle could be similar to the studio shoots where you have to say the lines to proceed with the script.

For the rematch team, There would Mothra the Volcarona, Godzilla the Mega Tyranitar, Goku the Infernape, and Gamera the Turtonator!
